‘Find a new job if you can’t stop hitting on staff’: Mace’s ultimatum to Congress; drops new reform

Rep. Nancy Mace has unveiled sweeping House ethics reforms that would ban Members of Congress from having sexual relationships with any House employee and prohibit them from living with staff unless they are married. The proposals aim to close long-criticized ethics loopholes and come amid renewed scrutiny over conduct on Capitol Hill. Mace argued that Congress is "not your personal dating pool" and said lawmakers who "can't stop hitting on staff" should find another job. Her office also cited past allegations involving former lawmakers and former Rep. Ruben Gallego while making the case for stricter ethics standards. Will these proposals transform ethics standards in Congress, or will they ignite another partisan battle?
